SPACEA (Space After) keyword in printer files

You use this record-level or field-level keyword to specify that the printer device is to space some number of lines after it prints one or more lines.

The format of the keyword is:

SPACEA(space-after-value)

The parameter value is required and must be in the range 0 through 255.

If you specify this keyword at the record level, spacing occurs after all lines associated with that record are printed. You can specify this keyword only once at the record level and once for each field.

If you specify SPACEA at the field level, spacing is performed after the field is printed.

This keyword is not valid for records with specified line numbers (positions 39 through 41). (The line numbers are flagged as errors.)

Note: If you do not use line numbers and do not specify space or skip keywords, overprinting can result.

The SPACEA keyword is not valid at either the field level or record level if the record format also has the BOX, ENDPAGE, GDF, LINE, OVERLAY, PAGSEG, or POSITION keywords specified.

Option indicators are valid for this keyword.
